A Fairytale Face

In this fairytale ~ as in reality ~ beautiful makeup begins with a clean, rich canvas. I first prepped the skin with NARS Luminous Moisture Cream because it intensely hydrates and promotes luminosity. While the skin was still supple from the moisturizer, I applied the fabulously lightweight Sheer Glow Foundation; it sets with a satin finish and looks like your natural skin ~ only better! I always warm up foundation on the back of my hand before application, to let it ‘cook’ or heat up, so it literally melts into your complexion.

I am obsessed with this make-up look and keep coming back to this post. Nars is the only brand of lipstick, pencils and glosses that I’m somehow not allergic to (learned this the hard way) and the orgasm blush is my favorite. I actually also use their Medium 1 foundation in Punjab sheer glow — can you explain what you mean by “warming it up” before applying? I apply mine with a brush after I use primer but I’ve found that it looks a little painted on if I put it on my hand first so I always have to go in with my fingers to blend it in well.
